Thanks a lot, used this for my university presentation. This tutorial can't be better!

[@arfaanaparveen2055]

This was by far the best tutorial I have seen so far on a topic pertaining to MS!! Just loved the content and also the zest in the voice. It was fun like attending a craft class!!

[@mtt251289]

A special shout out for the key-pressed references in the bottom left of the screen. You guys deserve to be known far and wide. Great work ! And, not to forget, you are not using the time-consuming "zoom-in-zoom-out to show where exactly the click happens" thingie. +1 for that too!

[@SlideCow]

Excelente video. Gracias 😃

[@SlideCow]

De Nada ;)

[@amitspecially]

Is it possible to animate this pie chart. Something like growing from the base to its height?

[@DarksiderCube]

Awesome, thanks!

[@johanessuryanata1544]

Real sharp!

[@constancymulenga9358]

Thankyou

[@aayushshrestha494]

no metafile option on mac?

[@tboneatl]

really enjoying your videos since I discovered them a few weeks ago - very helpful. Do you have any content on creating templates from scratch? Something that goes into Slide Masters, Layouts, etc?

[@SlideCow]

This is a very good question and request to ask/make. I'll be making a video on that soon.

[@Rincut2601]

Thank you so muuuch

[@RixterNow]

That's GREAT!

[@SlideCow]

You're great!

[@Ashooksarena]

Great Video.. Hats off..

[@SlideCow]

Thank you so much.

[@sulangsihsulangsih5697]

Bless you

[@pankajsc96gtl]

Great !!!

[@SlideCow]

You're great!

[@ADVRaiderKTM]

Great work so far!! Any creative ways how to make charts when you have lots of small values but few extremely large values? (I tried second axis, and while it works, it looks so so to me... I was hoping to figure out how to create a bar graph that cuts out the gap/difference between the smallest values and the largest value. Thanks!

[@SlideCow]

Hi Boomer! I plan to release a video on that in the future. Not to worry!

[@kennethkanyari4769]

you're the best.

[@jerg83]

Genius!!!

[@SlideCow]

Thanks! But I'm not a genius, Slide Cow's goal is to make YOU the genius!

[@avisekdas6165]

thank u man

[@SlideCow]

Thank you for watching!

[@terryking5471]

Having difficulty.... I get to the 3rd part and my pie chart does not show as 3-d. It still shows as a pie. What am I doing wrong

[@SlideCow]

What version of PowerPoint are you using?

[@alejandrosaravia8992]

what version do I need? My PP doesn't have the option "to paste special" (16.69) 365 subscription, it only offers Microsoft office Graffic Object and others that are pictures & PDF.

[@happyhippohooray]

The empirical research shows that humans experience extreme perceptual bias issues when comparing relative magnitudes of 3D objects. Edward Tufte and Stephen Few both have good content on the weaknesses of the 3D pie chart. A 2D bar chart is a much better choice!

[@SlideCow]

Hi Isaac! That's true, I just wanted to make a video that caters to many! But thank you so much for your feedback.

[@frederickhilario9445]

what font did you used? thanks.

[@SlideCow]

I used Panton Black Caps.

[@tatendapercymhungu1030]

I don't know what i'm doing wrong but every time when i rotate the pie chart, the four colours are just on the top part of the pie chart and the rest of the chart is grey. That is, the four segments are not fully coloured in their respective colours. What may i be doing wrong?

[@SlideCow]

Check to see the direction of your gradient.

[@azrafmostafa9596]

you are really a-moo-zing keep it up

[@SlideCow]

Thanks Kazi!

[@quocanhbui3031]

love these vids

[@SlideCow]

ANYTHING is possible with PowerPoint, the only thing you need to know is that the more complex it gets, the more time you need.

[@quocanhbui3031]

ill try then tkss

[@googlecrome1155]

does it work in powerpoint 2010?

[@saurabhbabbar2857]

Can we give it a hand drawn/whiteboard look?

[@SlideCow]

Unfortunately, no. But don't worry, that's in scope!

[@saurabhbabbar2857]

thanks for the reply. How long will I have to wait you reckon?

[@AgusGedrig]

ppt can do 3d. awesome. thanks a lot

[@SlideCow]

No problem Agus! Please be sure to subscribe to our mailing list for all the updates and exclusive content! :D

[@charin5637]

wow thank you

[@SlideCow]

You're welcome!

[@amanisundar]

Hi.....In the step 2 ...when I ungroup the pie.....all the slies become square shaped. ...it doesn't remain Circle any more. Please help.

[@SlideCow]

Hey there Mani! Please DON'T ungroup the pie! Keep it grouped, but move the shapes around as shown in the video!

[@amanisundar]

Ctrl + Shift +G after pasting as Enanced Metafile i what i am doing.....after i do that....the slices become square shaped.

[@SlideCow]

Hi Mani, sorry to hear you're still having trouble. Could you please tell me what minute of the video you're stuck on so I can help you better?

[@amanisundar]

at 2:50 mins

[@SlideCow]

I seemed to do it just now, it was fine. Can you answer the following: 1. Did you follow exactly what was said in this guide? Did you make a chart in excel? Did you then paste it on your slide, then press Ctrl + X, then paste special and then make it Enhanced Meta File? 2. What version of PowerPoint are you using?

[@janenoch]

The outline on my chart won’t go away. I put it on “no outline” and there are still white lines dividing the pie chart. And the colors didn’t continue on the sides of my chart. The colors are only on the top. Can somebody help?

[@janenoch]

I followed every step and some are not working. Like changing the top bevels... its not working. What am I missing? Im so frustrated. Can anyone please help?

[@N8riz]

Your definitely a gamer imo.

[@SlideCow]

We all are.

[@mohamedzouhairtalas6011]

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@SlideCow]

You're welcome!

[@leadelazer7883]

what if paste special > Picture (enhanced metafile) is not available? Did everything as described in the video but my dialog for paste special looks different (office 2017) - missing on Mac OS maybe?

[@SlideCow]

This is definitely a Mac OS thing since Enhanced Metafiles are primarily made through Windows. There are workarounds, but you need Illustrator.

[@chelseanancoo829]

Why can’t I remove the outline on PowerPoint 2013. I tried and it still has an outline.

[@SlideCow]

Did you select "No outline" ?

[@chelseanancoo829]

Yes I did

[@jaeedrahman1058]

What version of powerpoint is this ?

[@SlideCow]

2016, from Office 365.

[@holemanator]

I appreciate the illustration tutorial, but this chart does not benefit from a 3D design. You have not added another dimension of data to increase the amount of information displayed-you’ve made both the x/y and z axes reflect the same bit of information, resulting in a volume relationship is inaccurate and deceiving. These things are important in presenting information. Fractions work better in a 2D pie chart. Or make the volume reflect the relationship proportions.

[@saraandi9562]

why i cnat make 3d pie chart with their own colour?im use power point 2013...thank u

[@SlideCow]

I believe you can do that. Have you followed the steps?

[@ninaali1634]

Why i can't make the 3D rotation using powerpoint 2016?

[@SlideCow]

I believe you can, as you can even do it on 2013.

[@ninaali1634]

Yes, already can. I missed the earlier steps. Thank you very muc for the tutorial. It's very helpful.

[@N0THiNG6]

why is your name slide cow? just wondering..

[@SlideCow]

We make your slides a-moo-zing!

[@N0THiNG6]

Slide Cow lol

[@hiarunkumar]

This is not tedious at all.. Especially after you're hand holding us all the way along till the end. Double thumbs up to your down to earth explanation. Keep going!

[@SlideCow]

Thanks Arun!

[@DGEBSLK]

Whenever data will change, the entire chart will not change automatically, need to change each and every slice manually.

[@davem8781]

I would like a piece of the insignificant $1.5 million pie.

[@SlideCow]

Don't we all, Dave?

[@homecarehospicepalliativec2283]

this is why Microsoft is loosing to CANVA

[@austinspencer3056]

Worthless. No one in the world could follow what you’re saying.
